OK- so for the first time EVER- I left my camera at home…..went on a small 3 day vacation and didn’t snap one single picture…Is that even possible? Of Course I seen things that made me wish that I had my camera on me….Like my cute little Kaleb building sand volcanoes….and playing with the dead crawdad…..he thought it was alive and that’s all that matters…I would have loved to take some action shots of the water skiing and Jet Skiing, and all those fun activities that I used to do. I would have loved to take a picture of the sunset through the smoke filled sky. I would have loved to take a family photo to remember our vacation. I would have loved to take a picture of Kiana in her cute little Bikini with her tan little body. I would have LOVED to get a picture of Casey’s face when he realized how cold that water was. I would have loved to get a picture of the Turkey Vultures that are protected animals and that were swooping around our campground. I would have LOVED to get a star trail picture. And I would have Loved to get a picture of the kids eating their smores…BUT instead of Lugging around my big ol pro camera and gear…I actually enjoyed those moments with the kids…playing in the lake and making smores and watching the sunset and snuggling in bed with my kiddos. I’m super sad that summer is coming to an end. The nights are getting longer and cooler, and the mornings have a chill……even though I didn’t take 1 single picture, I have tons of memories and I’m sure my kids had a better time with mom, then with the photographer that normally goes on our family vacations with us…..I LOVE being a photographer, but I have to remember I’m a mom too…..thanks to my awesome customers who let  me reschedule their Senior Portrait sessions so I could go on vacation and spend a few days with my family. If you happened to call me why I was away, please call again as my voicemail was full, and I wasn’t getting my messages
